This is how you change the front engine mounts in the Saab 9-5, 2.0 and 2.3 engines, model years 1998-2010. Part numbers can vary according to model year, be sure to get the right version.
Video for replacing the torque rod arm bushing is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2JXRS_3s1o
Tools needed are a basic tools, torque wrench, a piece of wood and a floor jack. Be careful when lifting the gearbox and engine.
Thanks to Olle for making this video!

What is important about the "elkhorn" you removed on the left side?
Hi Olle,
I think you gave a lot of people hope to fix their own vehicles! I have a question about the procedure. Im used to working on my BMW, this is my first Saab. On my bmw, when i changed the motor mounts, I first unscrewed the bolts before jacking the engine up. I noticed you did this first. does this matter? How do you know how far to jack it up?
Thanks!
Hi there!
thank you so much for this very useful information! I want to ask you about a part in the link below.
Do you think I should buy the whole mount for the elk horn side? Or is this a great thing that will save me money? Because when you look and both mounts in your video it's just the isolator that's worn and squishy.

Just amazing. I just got through doing this – something I would have never undertaken without this video. My 2004 Wagon feels so much tighter! Thank you so much for this all the way from NJ USA.
Hey Olle, I drive nearly the identical car, '03 Saab 9-5 Aero Wagon, manual. I've already replaced all of the motor mounts except the rear lower. I'm looking forward to watching you replace that one, it's difficult to get to. Nice video !!
I love your videos. please invest in some extensions and deepwell sockets. Happy Saabing
Hey Trionic Seven, thank you so very very much for ALL your highly informative video's, very very interesting also!!! This one on the engine mounts replacement, priceless, thank you so very very much π π
Changed my left and right engine mount a few days ago. Much less vibrations and clonkiness. I'm gonna try replacing the rear one too but I'm having a hard time getting all bolts out. I have to get some smaller tools. Mine is a 9-5 2007. Thanks for the guide.
grym video, vad heter det du bytte pΓ₯ Svenska?
Thanks for another great video! Did you also experience bad/notchy shifting while you had the clunking sound? I am about to swap my mounts too but I've read that many times it's the subframe bushings. Already changed my torque arm bushing. Improved a bit. Looking forward to the rear mount replacement video π Keep it up!
check the subframe bushings.
Quick tip; before u lift the engine up loosen the big middle nut on the elkhorn.
I like your accent.
